Can’t Hit Back (Demian Bell)
Well you call me names in the morning
I turned the other cheek, you didn’t give
Me no warning, I closed my eyes and went
To sleep, you didn’t even listen baby
To what I say, you can’t hit back little girl
What you can’t see
You can’t hit back and that’s a fact
You can’t hit back what you can’t see
You can’t hit back when they take your
freedom away.(Brothers and sisters) You can’t hit back when
they try to make you pay.(money, money, money) You can’t hit back
when they try to tax your brain, you can’t hit back
my friend, cos they’re insane.
You can’t hit back and that’s a fact
You can’t hit back what you can’t see
Who are the pencil pushers who the hell
Can they be (tell me who can they be now)
When you can’t smell the
Poison vapours, you can’t hit back,
(Friends and neighbours)
With their bombs and tanks they try to
guarantee (it’s a fact)
But you can’t hit back what you can’t see
You can’t hit back and that’s a fact
You can’t hit back what you can’t see
